First build, need help!

OK, so this is my first ar build. I have been picking up parts a few at a time so I don't break the bank. So far this is what I have, spikes lower with dpms parts kit, dpms buffer tube, magpul Moe trigger guard (od green), and a geissele ssa two stage trigger. Thus for I'll only have around 50 into the build. What can I say I do a lot of trading . So now its a bout time to start the upper :-\ . I know some of the parts I want in the upper.
-Spikes flat top upper
- spikes 16 in 1/8 twist midlength chrome lined barrel
- yhm diamond rifle length free float.
as far as everything else, im up in the air. So if you have any suggestions or parts u no longer need, im interested in buying/ trading.

Got most of my lower parts in the mail today. Need a take down pin spring, my son stole it out of the parts bucket. Anyone have one I'll gladly buy it. Then time for a stock. Was thinking magpul ctr. What do y'all think? After that, time for the upper. pics to come. This app is messing up.

I would, but I'm set on building piece by piece. Just on of those things. One thing about buying a complete upper, I'd be buying parts twice. I have to have rifle length quad rail, or else my support hand would be on the barrel. :-\

I have a couple of their 16" carbines and one of their 14.7 LW middys " this one is super light" . All run flawless as expected and cycle cheap steel ammo perfectly
Im happy with all my purchases from them and they have free shipping right now over $50 the MOE 16" carbine they have for $319 is a decent deal as you do get the MOE handguard and the magpul rear sight with it in black or FDE.

Which upper did you get Quentin? I had to get one two for $294 shipped. 16" mid-length cmv. I already have the Hammer Forge "machine gun steel" mid-length upper.

I got the 16" LW midlength for the same price. Not CHF. BCGs weren't in stock but this is a Christmas present for my son-in-law so I have time. Very curious to compare to BCM and DD. I will slap in a BCG just to test for function but won't put many rounds through it until I get a PSA BCG.
